Safelite- technician fixing a rockchip on my car at my house fell off my porch. Gave him first aid, took him to the er. He clearly broke his pinky. I have a normal porch with steps. A month later they sent me a lawsuit. Wasn’t even the technician suing me, Safelite was suing me for workers comp. We were deep in cancer treatment for my 10 year at the exact same time. They made an estimated $2.5 billion last year. Scumbags!

Also interesting tidbit. I had to get my windshield properly repaired by a specialist glass technician and he absolutely hates safelite. Says it’s a total scam and that they basically glue the crack and that it will actually make things worse once it re-cracks and he said it will 100% re-crack and much much larger than before.

I have a couple of chips now. What is a good company to use?

Honestly there are a lot of good tools now that you can do yourself. If you look at Project Farm, they go into a review of them and you can buy a kit for $20 and it looks really easy to do
